It's spring in New Mexico. Although it's only mid-April, we are already swimming. The pool is about 70 degrees and will continue to get warmer as the weather improves. Emily's dog, Henry, and our Abby are usually the first ones in the pool; they love the water! The problem is that they leave their black hair in the pool and it's a constant battle for Ron to keep the filters clean. The only good part of their swimming is that they are exhausted afterwards and sleep really well.
